¡Viva España!: Policia

People spacing themselves out

Well in case you were wondering, I'm still here in Spain. This week we completed our first whole week of quarantine. I have heard we are going to be quarantined at least until April 12 now. I have also heard of a lot of missions closing but our mission president really wants to keep us here. Which is good because we taught A LOT. We were able to teach around 10 new people! Which is crazy because in a normal week if we are lucky, we teach around 1 new person. We have been teaching through phone calls which is pretty great because we can mute our end of the conversation and discuss things and they can't hear us. In other words we can answer questions perfectly. A few people we taught had interest in our message and one guy told us he wants to go on a mission!

Also this week we were told that we need to buy two more weeks worth of food. However, we have to walk with bags in our hands, we can't wear name tags, walk next to each other, or talk to each other. So on Saturday Elder Diaz and I decided to go to a store which is a little far away so we could be outside a little longer. On our way back I was walking ahead of him and stopped to take a break on a corner he then caught up to me and took a break too. Just as we were about to leave the police rolled up. And started questioning us on why we were together. I didn't do any of the talking because I didn't want them to know that I'm not from here and am not a Spanish resident. They ended up letting us go without asking for anything or giving us a fine. Today for preparation day we got the bags out like we were going to get groceries and went for a walk :)

I have time to do lots of reading since we can't go out. So if you have time to write an email, I would love to read it!

Tenga una buena semana!
